A study highlighted by Maypro on the benefits of their postbiotic ingredient, a heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92, shows promise in reducing cold symptoms like sore throat and fatigue in a trial involving 180 adults. The research, published in Japanese Pharmacology & Therapeutics, indicates that L-92 not only lessens the frequency of cold-like symptoms compared to a placebo but also activates key immune cells, suggesting its potential in boosting both innate and adaptive immune responses. This aligns with the growing interest in postbiotics for their immune benefits.
